Really, what more could one ask for? Monterey County is one of my favorite places in California. Santa Barbara being the other. But when it comes to the coastal views, Monterey County wins hands down. Big Sur, Carmel, and Monterey have some of the most beautiful coastline in the country. … But, wait! There’s more…
